Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My mother is insisting that my wife uncover her face in front of my adult brothers.

Answer:
I advise you to disobey her in this. It is not permissible for you to obey her in disobedience to Allah the Exalted. No created being, such as a parent, is to be obeyed in disobedience to Allah the Exalted.Mishkat al-Masabih 3696 [Luqman 31:15] Yes, so it is not permissible to obey a parent in disobedience to Allah, Mighty and Majestic, neither a parent nor anyone else. Yes.

A creature is not to be obeyed when it involves disobedience to the "Creator.”
لا طاعه لمخلوق في معصيه الخالقBut if they endeavor to make you associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them
وَإِن جَاهَدَاكَ عَلَىٰ أَن تُشْرِكَ بِي مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَا
